[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ironic that Musk brought Little X with him to the Senate today. [/quote]

The nanny was probably with them. [/quote]

So you assume he has childcare even though no one's seen it. But you assume thousands of federal employees don't have childcare because... ?

Hint: it's because they're women. No one in this lengthy thread assumes dad is WFH without childcare, or that a SAHD is watching kids. [/quote]

I made a similar point earlier on in this thread. This whole thing is rooted in misogyny.

For whatever reason people are angry at the thought of a mom being able to balance a full time job and have the flexibility to get your kids from the bus after school or pop out to a school event mid-day.

If a dad does this type of thing he’s basically celebrated. But I think there’s a) a lot of women out there who had it much harder (either having to leave the workforce or outsource a ton of childcare) and b) men who sneer at having to compete with “a mom” in the workplace. [/quote]

Many dads I know have far more flexibility than moms.  My husband did till recently.[/quote]

So so true.  My husband is a senior executive in top 50 corp.  He’s held various political and non political jobs in the defense world of government.  I have been a career government employee in highly competitive offices with lots of opportunities to move to the private sector.  I haven’t because—despite my low pay—my husband has a TON of flexibility that I do not have and is rewarded for “helping” with his kids.  FWIW, he’s hired a ton of women and given them lots of responsibility and doesn’t care where or when they work, as long as they get the job done.  
I love love government service/-have wanted to do it since I was a kid-/and his salary and flexibility enable that. But man, thinking that I am entitled and lazy (like they said in the Bush Administration) or stonewalling policy and goofing off all day like they’re saying now?  I worked all through the holiday and pulled an all nighter last weekend in an effort to make more than ten million for the American public.  What’d you do for America last week?[/quote]
